EVE New Citizens Q&A

There are no shoulds in this game. You "should" do what ever you enjoy doing.

Skill points don't really hold you back from doing much of anything in this game. I would not try to figure out what the character would be good for. Instead I'd recommend playing around with various aspects of the game and sticking with what you like.

I've probably said this a thousand times but if you are waiting on skills to train then you are playing this game wrong.

For perspective:

- 20 million skillpoints is about a year of training.
- your character appears to be tightly focused on the basic tech 1 Amarr ships (frigate, cruiser, battleship), with tech 2 lasers.
- the unassigned skill points are because CCP removed the learning skills and reimbursed the points

I'd guess you were probably doing PVE combat missions for Amarr agents at the time of your departure. Check your character Standings tab to see what NPCs you have the best standings towards.

As for what to do, the game has likely changed a lot, the ships have been revamped, the modules have been revamped, and they've added several PVE activities, changed the PVP combat rules and flags, and added wormhole space.

The 3 horizontal bars = above your picture on the bar on the left are like a Start-> button, locate the Ships Chart and look around to see what ships you may want to fly. Also look through the various ships on the EVE University wiki, as they often have comments about how to use the ships. Decide which ships you want to fly.

Also decide if you want to focus on PVE or PVP (or both), and join a player corp that focuses on that. Preferably outside of high-sec, because that's typically where the fun is.

For what to train, broadly, you want to shore up your support skills (Armor, Engineering, Electronics, Navigation, Shields, Targeting) to 3-4, then train the ship skills (Spaceship Command) to unlock the ships you want, and train the weapon skills (Gunnery, Missiles, Drones) to match the ships you've unlocked. Non-combat skills (Corporation, Trade, Industry, Reprocessing, etc.) train as desired.

Feel free to ask more questions here.

It seems as though your navigation and sheild skills are woefully under-levelled. If you want to create a well-rounded char, id suggest skilling for some of your navigation skills and basic sheild skills, even if you choose to fly armor ships, do help.

Other than that, there is nothing else you should really be doing until you figure out what you want to do with your (in-game) life.

Id suggest trying things out to see how you would fair. Try joining a nullsec/lowsec PVP corp and joining fleets(keep it to cruise and below though, dont fly your abaddon out).

And yes, people do mine in abaddons. Its horrific, but its been done before.
